Stretta procedure

Stretta is a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).[1]

A 2015 systematic review and meta-analysis in response to the systematic review (no meta-analysis) conducted by SAGES did not support the claims that Stretta was an effective treatment for GERD.[1] A 2012 systematic review had found that it improves GERD symptoms.[2]

In 2013, the Society of American Gastroenterological Endoscopic Surgeons considered Stretta appropriate for some people who refuse laparoscopic fundoplication.[3]

An American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy statement in June 2015 state that endoscopic antireflux therapy is a potential treatment based on the 2012 review.[4]
